Description
2nd story, East-Side 2BR near Brady St. Solar-powered & green!
Beautiful, 2nd-floor, East-side flat. More than 1000 ft^2. Free laundry on-site. Best neighborhood in town, between Brady and North, near lakefront. Walk to everything, and near bus lines. Hardwood floors throughout. Large living room, plus office nook. Master bedroom has two closets. Guest bedroom has built-in storage cabinets, but no typical closets. Perfect layout for a couple. Ceramic tile throughout bathroom. Backyard with native prairie plants; rain barrels to collect water, compost bin. Garden space available, if interested. Well insulated (reasonable heating bills). One of largest residential, solar energy (PV) installations in City of Milwaukee (tenant still pays for utilities, but can feel good about contributing clean energy to grid). No cigarette smokers or pets. Basement storage available. House built in 1893 -- lots of character and classic features. No off-street parking, unfortunately. Street parking is abundant though, and is never an issue. Longer-term tenants preferred. Private balcony overlooks backyard. Tenant responsible for snow shoveling tiny sidewalk & steps and mowing tiny front lawn in the summer.
Owner pays for trash & water. Tenant pays for gas & electric.
